FBI looking into bid to smear Russia probe chief Mueller
2018-10-31
[Al Ahram] The FBI is investigating an alleged scheme to pay women to accuse Russia collusion probe chief Robert Mueller of sexual harassment in a bid to discredit him, Mueller's office said Tuesday.

The scheme was uncovered after one woman who said she worked for Mueller decades ago told several journalists she had been offered $20,000 to accuse him of sexual misconduct.

"When we learned last week of allegations that women were offered money to make false claims about the Special Counsel, we immediately referred the matter to the FBI for investigation," Mueller's front man Peter Carr said.

Carr did not offer any additional details, but his rare public statement made clear that Mueller's office was taking the claims seriously.

When a matter is referred to the FBI, the agency must investigate the merits of the complaint.

#8  trailing wife, the Huffpo article is interesting because they insinuate it's conservatives that cooked up the fake lady but never explain why conservatives would do something like that which would make them look bad.

#7  Did the dems think the repubs were too innocent to follow on to the dems' suggestion?

Yeah but the repubs don't have the backing of a 24/7 news media to pump the story.

#3  ..its sort of like nuclear proliferation. Once someone unleashes the genie from the bottle, everyone else will play that game too. Do on to others what others have done on to you. We live in interesting times.
